An aerodrome Runway Safety Team (LRST) is a key element in an aerodrome runway safety programme. As a minimum, the aerodrome RST, which at European aerodromes is often called Local Runway Safety Team (LRST), should consist os representatives from the main groups associated with take-off and landing operations, namely the aerodrome operator (which could include navigation aids engineers, infrastructure maintenance etc.), Meteorological offices and Aeronautical Information Service providers, representatives from the air navigation service provider, local air traffic control, aircraft operators, pilot associations and other relevant organisations that operate on the manoeuvring area.
